Description
The Colby + Yamamoto 4/3mm Chest Zip Fullsuit is designed for cold conditions, typically used in water temps in the mid to high 50s.
Like all Colby + wetsuits, it features Yamamoto #39 in the torso for durability, shape retention and warmth, and Yamamoto #40 in the shoulders and arms for added flexibility and freedom to reduce paddling fatigue. We use a custom-made jersey from the world's premiere jersey provider which has a silky hand feel with amazing stretch and resilience.
The Colby + Yamamoto 4/3mm Chest Zip Fullsuit features triple-glued and blindstitched (GBS) seams with internal taping in critical areas (those that take the most abuse). GBS stitching combined with internal tape will improve the longevity of the suit and also helps reduce leakage from sew-through. It doesn't completely alleviate it, but certainly helps.
To help alleviate leakage, and importantly, we've applied a rubberized liquid seal treatment to the exterior seams, which ends just below the armpits. This will dramatically reduce leakage in the lower body, crotch and torso. And because we've left it off of the arms and shoulders, you'll have unmatched freedom and flexibility in the upper body.
The chest zip design is a tried-and-true standard and features an all-metal YKK zipper pull which will outlast the life of the neoprene. It's tough as nails, but not too bulky or heavy.
The dark grey upper body jersey turns nearly black when wet and also indicates where the Yamamoto #40 is used.
Features
Features
| FEATURES | PROS / BENEFITS | CONS / TRADE-OFFS |
|---|---|---|
| Yamamoto Neoprene | Soft and flexible feel. Fantastic warmth and lightweight as well. | More expensive per yard and if not taken care of, will degrade like other neoprene (no faster, but not impervious to mishandling) |
| Jersey | Our proprietary jersey lining is the most comfortable and flexible we've ever felt (and surfed in) | Not as bullet proof as cheaper jerseys |
| Liquid sealed seams | Reduces the inflow of water through seams and pinholes from sewing needles | Reduces flexibility and can delaminate if left in the sun to bake |
| Extra durable knee pads | Won’t delaminate or fail as easily for guys that drag a knee when popping up or push under waves using their knee on the tail | Slightly less flexible |
| Watertight zip | Reduces leakage through zipper teeth | Water will still get in the wetsuit (slowly), but this is how it’s meant to work. The other tradeoff is it’s a bit more expensive than the non-water-tight zips |
| Triple glued + blindstitched construction | No buildup around seams to give you a rash. More mobility in your upper body | More expensive and hand-constructed, so if there’s human error (missing a spot of glue for example), it can sometimes be felt in the form of water seepage/leaking or even failed seams (warranty will cover for 1 year) |
| Internal neoprene taped seams | Adds strength to the seams and helps prevent additional water seepage/leaking | More expensive to produce. Can limit flexibility (though not as much as liquid seal treatment), and sometimes will delaminate if not taken care of (left in the sun) or wasn’t properly glued at the factory (warranty will cover) |

Size Chart
If you have any questions about fit, please hit us up - we'd love to help you get the right size on your first try! Please note, the fit on our clearance inventory is slimmer and slightly longer...And you'll find the clearance suits to be less flexible and a bit tougher to get on and off. The Colby + suits have a more generous opening, are noticeably lighter and more flexible, BUT are slightly shorter in the torso, arms and legs. So, if you're in between sizes, we recommend going with the "taller" size for the Colby + suits.
